BIOGRAPHY
We all have unique perspectives and experiences that shape how we see the world. My art celebrates that fact by focusing on a single photograph and digitally manipulating it into a variety of new perspectives. My background in psychology fostered my fascination with perspective. How you see something may differ entirely from how I see it. Exploring how we differ in our perception creates a dialogue of understanding. As a photographer I love finding abstract scenes in plain view. Through digital collage and extreme post- processing I am able to create worlds that the viewer is free to roam and explore in.
